Well I'll just cling to my data that tells me this crazy statistic of, "if you provide free birth control through insurance the number of unwanted pregnancies goes down" and ill leave you guys alone with yours that tells you Mitt Romney is President.

Dude. You still don't know that women CAN get free birth control if they can't buy it.

Someone please explain to me why abortion rates go down when contraception is provided free through insurance then. Everyone here is convinced on access and cost for everyone so I am really interested in their explanation for why their understanding does not work in reality.

Or is reading another one of your struggles?

The problem is you'll never see a point to its completion. Something being available somewhere for free is good enough to excuse the outcomes even if someone put data in your face telling you it wasn't good enough and wouldn't work. A box being checked is not a problem being solved.

If the access women have to contraception now was good enough, increased free access wouldn't be reducing unwanted pregnancy rates.

The point you've never addressed is what do you care more about, outcomes or stupid platitudes?
